It is a wonderful blend of Eastern and Western philosophies and practices, combining breathing, visualisation, gentle movement and relaxation techniques to bring both body and mind into harmony.

Psychonomy
Psychonomy is a smooth manual method that originated in France, being brought to the UK exclusively for the first time. It is very similar to Osteopathy but involves a softer touch, with more global effects. By touching your body whilst you’re fully dressed on top of your clothing, the Practitioner can identify where your pain comes from and help to reset your body’s own healing & recovery capabilities.
Psychonomy is recommended for anyone and can help any kind of pain: physical or emotional such as shock pains, stressed muscles or bones, early or old pains in any part of your body for example. It can also help with sleep disorders or stress, help eliminate headaches and migraines as well as helping you to recover from fatigue and maintain a good energy level.
Psychonomy is also efficient in helping to ease exam or pre-surgery nerves, or to prepare you for very important professional meetings or any other kind of situation when you need to be fully ready & mentally alert.
Psychonomy is also a complementary technique that can assist any other kind of medical treatment.
A session is around 30 minutes long and you will only need a few sessions to notice improvements.
Maintenance involves 4 sessions a year to ensure optimal energy levels remain on-going.
